Klamath Falls dogs neglect/abandonment hearing canceled today for plea change next month | CrimeWatch [Video]

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — A case of abandoned Rottweiler puppies in Klamath County is dropping a hearing in the matter today to gain a plea next month.

51-year-old David McMillion of Klamath Falls faces a felony charge of animal neglect and a misdemeanor criminal charge of animal abandonment.

McMillion pleaded “not guilty” in January to the charges from puppies left in a U-Haul moving truck during cold weather last Thanksgiving.

His defense lawyer Eve Costello filed a request with Klamath County Circuit Court for a plea change in the case, writing “That this matter is presently scheduled for Hearing on June 10th, 2024. (3.) That the defense requests this hearing be moved to July 15th, 2024 for a change of plea.”
